Aurora Households Responding Faster Than State Average on Census

At a time when we’re all keeping a little distance, we can still come together, Aurora. The current public-health challenges we face coincide with one of the most important duties we have as residents of the United States: the Census.

April 1 is Census Day, and Aurora’s self-response rates are currently above the state average. But we still have a long way to go. Help us continue to ensure that everyone is Seen. Heard. Counted. Encourage everyone you know to complete the Census today!

“Completing the census is an important task, and Aurora needs you," Mayor Mike Coffman said. "We need an accurate count to make sure the city receives the necessary funds to be able to provide the quality of life and services our growing community needs."

Make sure you do your civic duty and get counted. It has never been easier to respond to the 2020 Census, whether online, by phone or by mail - all without having to meet a census taker. We encourage Coloradans to self-respond as soon as possible and make Colorado the state with the highest 2020 Census self-response rate in the nation! Go to 2020census.gov or call 844.330.2020 and cross it off your to-do list today.

The Census timeline has changed and the period to respond has been extended until August 2020.
